"Woman, do you want me to bed you!" Saknu asked bluntly.
Hong Rui’s face turned red!
She hadn’t expected Saknu to be so straightforward. Usually, when such matters were to develop, shouldn’t both parties flirt a bit first before bringing it up?
But, he just came right out and asked!
Saknu narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous aura unmistakably present in his gaze.
Hong Rui faltered slightly, afraid that the Great Prince might get impatient and miss the opportunity. So, blushing and hanging her head, she said quietly: "It’s an honor for Hong Rui to serve the Great Prince... I’m... willing..."
Saknu roughly grabbed her chin, lifting her head to scrutinize her for a while.
"Do you know how many women have died in my bed?"
Hong Rui obediently replied: "Those women were not fortunate enough, not worthy of serving the Great Prince."
Saknu laughed ominously, leaning down, nearly touching his face to Hong Rui’s.
"I’m very strong, but I don’t want to be aggressive with my women, afraid of hurting them. Heh, when I can’t indulge myself, I can use you to vent my frustrations..."
This statement clearly indicated that he intended to treat her as a plaything. Any woman with some sense would, upon hearing these words, cease harboring any thoughts about him and give him a wide berth.
Unfortunately, Hong Rui had been blinded by the allure of a luxurious, high-status life and by Saknu’s robust masculine charm. She lowered her head, with a somewhat shy expression, and said, "Thank you for your favor, Your Highness. I will serve you with all my heart and try to satisfy you..."
Cai Wei, lying on the couch, could not help but think: Clear water has no fish, a person at her vilest is invincible!
Red Rui, truly a person handpicked by the Empress Dowager, fully deserved the word ’invincible’ in certain aspects!
Night fell, and Anxiang lit a candle and brought it in. Seeing Saknu was not as irritable as before, she softly asked, "Your Highness, would you like to have dinner now?"
Saknu waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, I’m not hungry!"
"Your Highness, you even refuse to eat, are you worried about Princess An Le?"
Outside the door curtain, a gentle female voice rang out. Following the voice, Princess An Le, dressed to the nines, walked in with a young woman.
Saknu was frowning. He didn’t like being disturbed, especially by those who impose themselves without an invitation and treat him as if he wasn’t a stranger.
"Who let you in? This is my woman’s room, get out!"
Saknu harshly pointed at the entrance, without giving Princess Zhao Yang any face at all.
Zhao Yang was taken aback, not expecting him to be so brutish. However, she was not angry, as she optimistically attributed Saknu’s attitude to the resentment he held from her initial rejection of his proposal.
So, after a brief pause, she gritted her teeth, decisively deciding to stay.
"Your Highness, I’m here regarding Princess An Le, I can’t leave yet."
Upon hearing the words ’for An Le’, Saknu’s anger subsided a bit, but there was still a threatening hint in his eyes as if she would be shown the door if she couldn’t provide a satisfactory explanation.
Zhao Yang pointed to the woman behind her and said: "This is Doctor Liu, she’s an expert in Nie Gu Massage. Princess An Le has been unconscious and unmoving all afternoon, she must feel very uncomfortable. If Doctor Liu could massage her for a while, it would definitely help her to relax a lot, which will be beneficial for her recovery."
